Christmas was tough. Sony's servers were so overloaded I couldn't register until around midnight. There were other problems, too, but now I seem to be up and running. At least, I think so. However, I have two questions:

1. How do I keep this thing charged when I'm away from computers for a month? They only included a USB cable.
2. How do I download books from sites other than Sony's?

Maybe these things are answered in the user manual, which I plan to download today. If so, I apologize in advance for an unnecessary post.

I'm looking forward to reading Rafael Sabatini on my reader -- and that's just for starters.
